Eggs Benedict Ingredients

Method

Instructions for Eggs Benedict

  1. 1

    Prepare the Hash Browns

    Grate the potatoes and rinse them under cold water. Squeeze out excess water and pat dry. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the grated potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown on one side, about 5-7 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until crispy. Remove and keep warm.

  2. 2

    Poach the Eggs

    Fill a saucepan with water and add vinegar. Bring to a gentle simmer. Crack one egg into a small bowl. Swirl the water with a spoon to create a vortex and gently slide the egg into the center. Poach for about 3-4 minutes for soft yolks. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining eggs.

  3. 3

    Toast the Muffins

    Split the English muffins in half and toast them until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Eggs Benedict

    On each muffin half, place a slice of ham or Canadian bacon, then top with a poached egg. Drizzle with warm Hollandaise sauce and serve alongside crispy hash browns.
